Della Pietra - N07-6 - IEEE NSS 2006

  6. GNAM: A Monitoring Framework • GNAM is an online monitoring framework that executes specific plug-ins providing them with two interfaces: • Input: allows to read physics events from different sources (i.e. main DataFlow system, Event Monitoring stream, event file, etc.) • Output: allows to publish histograms to the Online Histogram Service M. Della Pietra - N07-6 - IEEE NSS 2006

  7. Calorimeter Muon detector Inner detector GNAM: Core & Plug-ins Detector Plug-ins Asynchronous commands from OHP (Reset, Update, …. Event Monitoring Data Fragments Histograms Synchronous Commands Online Histogramming GNAM Core DAQ M. Della Pietra - N07-6 - IEEE NSS 2006

  8. GNAM: Detector Plug-in • Each ATLAS Subdetector (Muons, Calorimeters, etc.) can provide at least two shared-libraries, loaded during the DAQ configuration to: • decode its own data fragment • book and fill its histograms, tagging them with priorities (SHIFT, EXPERT and DEBUG mode) • This decoupling allows to easily produce combined histograms between different subsystems • A special library could be written to dump each single decoded event on a circular buffer, read by an event-display software to show it “online” M. Della Pietra - N07-6 - IEEE NSS 2006

  9. OHP: Online Histogram Presenter • OHP could be thought as a client application of the OH Service • Its role is to display histograms produced by the ATLAS Monitoring components in a user-friendly graphical application within ATLAS online environment. M. Della Pietra - N07-6 - IEEE NSS 2006

  10. OHP main features • It subscribes to the desired histograms and get notifications from OH whenever they are updated • It allows to browse all the histograms (expert mode) or configure a set of histograms to be displayed in tabs (shifter mode) • It allows to perform actions on histograms (as reset, rebin, update, fitting, zooming) • It manages reference histograms • It reduces the network traffic using a cache system M. Della Pietra - N07-6 - IEEE NSS 2006

  11. OHP Architecture Histogram receiver Cache Only histogram “on-focus” are updated Core Filtering OHP and OHS may run on different machines connected via network Configurable GUI M. Della Pietra - N07-6 - IEEE NSS 2006

  12. OHP: GUI M. Della Pietra - N07-6 - IEEE NSS 2006

  13. GNAM & OHP in ATLAS Commissioning OHP snapshot during a run with cosmics Histograms produced by GNAM – Tile Calorimeter Library A cosmic event in the muon detectors decoded by a GNAM library and displayed “online” by an event display M. Della Pietra - N07-6 - IEEE NSS 2006

  14. Conclusions • The HUGE amount of data in the LHC experiments need to be monitored all along the dataflow by flexible and scalable monitoring tools • GNAM is a monitoring framework within the ATLAS TDAQ system that allows detector plug-ins to decode and analyse data and to publish histograms on a network • OHP is a client graphical application to present histograms to shifters in a flexible and interactive way • Both tools are extensively used during the commissioning of detectors • This commissioning period will be a benchmark for GNAM and OHP (as well as the whole monitoring system) for the development of new features M.
